This research aimed at investigating the use of Grammarly software and in what terms it was more effective in reducing students’ errors in EFL writing compared to teacher corrective feedback (indirect corrective feedback). This research used the quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. There were 40 university students from English Education Study Program of a private university in Indonesia who were selected and randomized clustered into two; experimental and control groups. The students were tested at the beginning and the end of the research. The quantitative data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The results of the research confirm that the students whose work is evaluated by using Grammarly have a significant reduction in their errors compared to those whose work is evaluated by the teacher (indirect corrective feedback). The software is shown to be more effective to reduce the errors in terms of vocabulary usages (diction), language use (grammar), and mechanics of writing (spelling and punctuation). However, it is less effective to improve the content and organization of students’ EFL writing. This research can suggest EFL/ESL teachers with an alternative assessment for students’ writing that supports an autonomous learning environment.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mendapatkan deskripsi tentang: 1. Sejauhmana kontribusi yang diberikan oleh kemampuan membaca terhadap hasil belajar Bahasa Indonesia Siswa Kelas II SMA Negeri 2 Bojonegoro. 2. Sejauhmana kontribusi yang diberikan oleh aktivitas belajar siswa di sekolah terhadap hasil belajar Bahasa Indonesia Siswa Kelas II SMA Negeri 2 Bojonegoro. 3. Apakah kemampuan membaca dan aktivitas belajar siswa di sekolah memberikan kontribusi secara simultan terhadap hasil belajar Bahasa Indonesia Siswa Kelas II SMA Negeri 2 Bojonegoro. Dari analisis korelasi sederhana ditemukan bahwa korelasi antara kemampuan membaca dengan hasil belajar adalah positif. Hasil perhitungan regresi hubungan antara kemampuan membaca (x1) dengan hasil belajar (Y) dapat dinyatakan dalam persamaan regresi Y= 52,116+ o,338 x1. Adapun hasil perhitungan regresi hubungan antara aktivitas belajar(x2) dengan hasil belajar (Y) dapat dinyatakan dalam persamaan regresi Y=82,310-0,109 x2. Harga Fhitung lebih kecil dari Ftabel (0,452<3,98) dengan derajat kebebasan v1=1 dan v2=78 untuk taraf signifikansi 0,05. Dengan demikian tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara aktivitas belajar dengan hasil belajar. Hasil perhitungan regresi ganda yang menunjukkan hubungan antara kemampuan membaca dan aktivitas belajar terhadap hasil belajar (x1 dan v2 atas Y) secara simultan dapat dinyatakan dalam persamaan regresi Y=57,018+0,336 x1-0,08385x2. Harga F hitung lebih besar dari Ftabel (7,201>3,44) dengan derajat kebebasan v1=2 dan v2=77 untuk taraf signifikansi 0,05. Dengan demikian ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kemampuan membaca dan aktivitas belajar secara simultan dengan hasil belajar.Kata kunci: Pembelajaran, Bahasa Indonesia, kemampuan membaca,aktivitas belajar, hasil belajar.
